From her to eternity

Ah wanna tell ya bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why... why... thats the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, ah start to cry

O ah hear her walkin
Walkin barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, ah catchem in my mouth!
Ah catchem in my mouth!
Ah catchem in my mouth!
Walkncry walkncry-y!!!

From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!

Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a pagenstufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window,
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! o mine!

From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! cry! cry!

Shes wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
And standin like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, ah know it must sound absurd
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walkncry! kneelncry-y!

From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!

O tell me why? o tell me why?
Oh why? why? why?
O tell me why and dont tell me a lie!
Why the ceiling still shakes? shakes! shakes! shakes!
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?

This desire to possess her is a wound
And its naggin at me like a shrew
But, ah know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her.

O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! go-o-o! from her to eternity!

From her to eternity! [repeat]
